All of our previous contests have involved predicting some aspect of snowfall in Boulder. This changes today! Your goal this time around will be forecasting how intense the summer heat will be during the upcoming months of June, July and August. To help you along with your prediction, we provide a brief overview of the climatology and cover what the models are predicting for this summer. Prizes include a $50 Amazon gift card and Premium subscriptions. Get your forecast in now!
We’re excited to announce that the first batch of lower elevation hikes have just been added to SummitCAST! Read on for details on which hikes are included and where you can access the new additions.
Thanks to those of you whom participated in our Spring Snow Contest. The goal of the competition was to predict the amount of snow that would accumulate in Boulder for February, March and April 2018 in relation to climatological normal. In this post, we review the entries and announce the winners!
It’s hard to believe that it has been three full-years since we began the BoulderCAST journey. We’ve come a long way since, transitioning from an idea envisioned by a few CU-Boulder grad students and alumni…to becoming a leader in Boulder and Denver weather that members of our community depend on today. While an anniversary is a great time to reflect on what we have accomplished already, we’re also looking ahead to the future.

The weather last Friday was near-perfect for a hike to the summit of 11,427-foot Twin Sisters Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Thanks to the forecast guidance provided by SummitCAST, our team was able to squeeze in a fun late-March excursion with no concerns about ugly weather. Twin Sisters is just one of many lower elevation hikes coming soon to SummitCAST. We review the weather from our recent hike and update you on the status of SummitCAST development.
